How do I get a loan with my car title?

My grandmother lives with me and finances have been strained as I lost my job during the pandemic. I was able to get a new job, but I won't get paid in time to pay for utilities. I own my car and have the title. I’ve seen ads for car title loans for quick cash. How do I get a loan with my car title?

I’m so sorry to hear things have been difficult for you. Since you own your car and have the title, you can get a title loan with:
  • Identification
  • Proof of residence
  • Proof you can pay them back
  • A title that shows you’re the only owner
  • Copy of car keys
  • Vehicle registration
While it’s possible to get a title loan, most states consider them predatory loans. Dangers of a title loan include:
  • Repossession of your car
  • High-interest rates
  • Short term lengths
If possible, try any other route before agreeing to a title loan. Some options are:
  • A personal loan
  • Short term bank loan
  • Peer to peer loan
  • Payment arrangement with your utility company
  • Your community or state may have nonprofit services that you can qualify for. Check with your local churches, library, and government assistance programs.
